I love a Camero! Just like I loved the old 66-71 Chevelles!
But my knees and back do not like getting in and out of them nowadays,
so I will stay with my GMC Yukon.!

I had a 1975 Camaro long ago, like 1990. Didn't look to bad but the underneath was ate up by the salt. One day the front of the one of the rear leaf springs nearly came up through the floor boards. The front mount had rusted clear to pieces. That's what happens to vehicles around here... FUCKIN' SALT in the winter. But I loved that car. It was really fun to drive. Had a 350 in it, 4 barrel, dual exhaust, just enough to at least have a little fun in. I sold it, rusted as it was, some kid wanted it bad.Originally Posted by Elessar
I'm not in that bad a shape. Yeah once and awhile my back gives me problems, but it doesn't last forever. But it might later in life, that's why I'm figuring enjoy one more hotrod now while I can.
I've pretty much made up my mind. It's all going to depend on the deal.

Funny you should say that... my neighbor has a 2010 Dodge Challenger. Pretty car, blue with flat black stripes, nice mags, 350 Hemi, 6 speed... and he's had NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH IT. My God I can't COUNT the number times he's had that freakin' LEMON in the SHOP. And he said, "forget the Camaro, save yourself $20K and buy my car." Ya... I LAUGHED... I was nice though and just said, "you know I'm a Chevy guy, I gotta have the Camaro, and besides that, it's brand new."

Lol.
A lot of women think that anyone driving a Charger is probably a d***.

... I haven't heard that one before... could you enlighten me as to why?
No I won't get mad or your won't offend me... I'm not a Dodge person. I think they're cars and trucks suck. Most of them I've ever seen that friends bought were always in and out of the shop, and around here the Dodge's are ALWAYS the FIRST ones to start rusting. Their paint is for shit.

Ok, I’ll be blunt- they tend to drive like they are over-compensating for a less than ideal-sized you-know-what. Cutting in and out of traffic for no apparent reason, darkened windows, extra loud muffler, look- at- me paint jobs. Of course, all kinds of cars have drivers like that. It just seems to be an epidemic with Charger drivers.

My daughter is the one who actually pointed this out to me!
Sorry for anyone here who drives like that.

Looking for a hero
I just bought a new Denali last year. Had a 2004 for 13 years. Best vehicle I've ever owned.

I had a 1975 and a 1977 Chevy Blazer, then a 2002 and a 2011 Chevy Tahoe, all basically the same thing as the Denali. I love those vehicles too.

“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

That was your FIRST CAR? Wow... at least it had the V-8 in it.My first car was even slower...77 IH Scout II 304ci, 4sp and 1st was granny gear and barely used anyway
We had a little 1969 Scout with the 4 banger in it. Believe it or not, that 4 banger propelled that little Scout right on down the road pretty dang good. The thing was unstoppable too, we couldn't get it stuck. I think the only reason my Dad ever bought it was because I bugged the heck out of him to buy a 4 wheel drive. He really liked it after he bought it. We rescued my sister and Mom one time from clear across Madison in a major blizzard. Cars stuck and in the ditch everywhere and that little Scout just plowed along, in some deep snow, and apparently my Dad wasn't satisfied when we got near our house so he drove off the road into the ditch and ditch ran for a bit, and still couldn't get the little Scout stuck. We were ALL liking it then.
My first car was a hand me down from my parents, a 1966 Dodge Monaco, FOUR DOOR. They gave me a price I could afford and it was a car, so I bought it, but the first thing I did when I could afford it was buy a hotrod. At one point I had 3 cars. A 1970 AMC AMX, a 1969 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, and a 1967 Chevy Chevelle, with a Vette engine in it.

Those were awesome. Back when I was a young jarhead stationed in the desert we used to go 4-wheeling a lot and friend of a friend had one. That thing that bulletproof.My first car was even slower...77 IH Scout II 304ci, 4sp and 1st was granny gear and barely used anyway

@SassyLady ... here's my 2011 Tahoe. I no longer have it. I traded this in on my 2015 Silverado. The Tahoe developed some kind of static drain problem and it would run the battery dead just sitting. No warranty so down the road it went. I did love that thing though... had a Bose surround sound theater in it...
